So, I was able to offer some help to one of my colleagues at my part-time job.
But the conversation turned a very unexpected route, and in the end, he may be the one helping *me* out: I may have the chance of working abroad for a month or so at some point in the next year.
After our quick chat I got in touch with someone I know (in my H's industry) about this. I've worked for her in the past, she has a high opinion of my work but has always thought I should push myself more. She also has the connections to help me out.
And (get this...) she thinks it's a great idea!
I think I'm going to speak to her some time after the new year about it.
My part time job is zero hours, so I could easily go away for a month and then come back to it.
I feel pretty darn excited about this. I never got the chance to travel when I was in my 20s. I went from an undergraduate degree, straight into a six year postgrad (during which I worked the whole time), then straight into getting married and looking after my H.
It's going on my homework storyboard that my counsellor set me
